April is one of my favourite months in Melbourne. In April, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival is on! We try to go to a few shows every year - last night we saw musical comedy act Axis of Awesome. Who were indeed pretty awesome. If you haven't already seen them live, I recommend it. Or if you can't wait, they have videos of their best songs on You Tube.
So in honour of April being comedy month here, I thought I'd put together a list of suitably happy names for you. Let me know what your favourites are.
